[BEAUTY REVIEW] Ludeya V Line Chin Mask & Yufit Bodyboom

For too many women, being "model thin" is a very real aspiration. It's no wonder. Bombarded with countless media images of thin female models and actresses who look beautiful and appear happy, many women are unhappy about their own bodies. If you are one of them, iQueen has a solution for you with the two products selling on their website!

P/S: Read my previous review on iQueen here, here and here!

Ludeya V Line Chin Mask

I fell in love with Ludeya masks ever since my last review about it. (You can read about it HERE!) So when I received another Ludeya mask from iQueen, I was really excited.

This time, Ludeya wants you to say goodbye to your double chin, chubby cheeks and baby fat! For women, the ideal and most sought after face type is the ever-so-popular V-Line shape. While many celebrities go under the knife for the V line, Ludeya V Line Chin Mask is certainly an alternative for you! It has pulling, firming and polarizing function to make you look photogenic in just 15 minutes.

There are 4 V Line Chin Masks in a box.

How to use?

To use, hang the up lift hook of the chin mask on the ears as shown in the picture below. Press gently with fingers to ensure it fits to skin. Let the mask sit for 20-30 minutes.

Let's see the results!

I have very chubby face to begin with, so the mask was made just for me. I could feel a slight lifting effect after just one use, more obvious on the right side of my face. The mask has a very pleasant smell just like the other Ludeya masks. It is elastic, and it doesn't cause any discomfort. Another reason for me to love Ludeya products more. :D

Goodbye double chin!

If you are interested to purchase, you can get it from iQueen HERE at only RM14.45 (15% discount), grab it while stock lasts!

Yufit Body Boom Anti-Cellulite Slimming Mousse

The second product that I am going to introduce is Yufit Body Boom Anti-Cellulite Slimming Mousse, the great body fat killer! It is a clinically tested foam originated from Korea that is formulated using the most revolutionary cosmetic technology that helps to reduce the appearance of cellulite in the buttocks, arms, thighs, calves and abdomen areas. It also helps to improve elasticity of the skin.

There are two types of Body Boom - the hot and the cold type. Basically, they function the same.

In this review, I will just try the hot one! The 200ml package has an average duration of 20 days.

How to use?

Shake the bottle, turn it upside down and dispense a small amount of fisioline on the area concerned. Smooth the product in using soft circular movements from from the peripheral areas to the centre for complete absorption. Repeat this procedure twice a day as an initial treatment. Do take note that the product absorbed quickly, so it is not recommended to apply the product more than once on the same area. And also do not use before going to bed.

When it was first applied, it was fresh and smooth just like mousse. However, what happened after that amazed me! The product seems to ''crackle'', I could feel a sort of tingling, light bubbling, followed by a burning sensation on the skin which lasted for around 5 minutes. For a moment I thought my skin was on fire!

After a while, the crackling stopped. Massage it well over the area to get maximum benefits. As you can notice from the picture below, there was immediately a slight reddening on my skin, proving that the microcirculation has been reactivated. The crackle technology has the capacity to effectively enhance the activity of the active ingredients in the epidermis within the very first minutes of application.

I used the product mainly on my thigh and stomach, twice a day for one week. Surprisingly, my skin appears to be more tonic and compact, which I couldn't even achieve when I work out at the gym! You should try it too! You can get it from iQueen HERE (heating) and HERE (cooling) for only RM69.00.

[FASHION REVIEW] Get Versatile with Te Chi Chi!

Often feet are the most forgotten part of the human body - in fact, it totally deserves a treat. Good shoes take you to good places, don't you agree? :) Therefore, investing on a good pair of shoes will never go wrong. Clothes may be seasonal, but a good pair of shoes can go a long way!

I was really happy to receive the pretty pink boxes at my doorstep a few weeks back - they are the Te Chi Chi shoes that I have anticipated for long! Check out these pretty babies!

Left: Brown Oxford Leather Shoes with Studs (Product Code: TE222-21 here)

Right: Black Stylenanda Inspired Bar Buckle Sandals (Product Code: TEX258-XC10 here)

A study found that the average woman has 20 pairs of shoes, but only wears five of them regularly! That's why we all love shoes that can wear with almost anything, one that can be worn in many different settings. Talk about versatility. Below, I created two different looks with each pair of shoes, two (or even more!) looks for the price of one! Isn't it a good deal? :) Let's see how we can pair them!

Brown Oxford Leather Shoes with Studs

(Product Code: TE222-21 here)

1. The Office Lady Look

Oxford shoes are inspired by menswear, therefore they make a polished impression for office work. This pair of Oxfords with a subtle pointy toe look best on us women regardless of our body shapes. In most cases, it's the cut of the pants that will determine whether or not you've got a winning combination. So in this outfit, make sure to show off your ankles and that the pants are slim or tapered, because wide leg cuts make you look shorter. In that sense you will have a good balance and sense of proportion in your outfit. Moreover, you wouldn't like it if your pants cover up the pretty studs on the Oxfords!

2. Back To School

If you are daring and adventurous in trying out different kind of outfits, you may want to try pairing flat oxford shoes with skater skirts. The masculinity of the shoe can be balanced with the feminine touches of the skirt. Add some playfulness to the outfit with a pair of lace bow detail socks and bowler hat. And you will definitely be the most fabulous girl in your school!

Black Stylenanda Inspired Bar Buckle Sandals

(Product Code: TEX258-XC10 here)

1. It's all about black and white - monochrome

They say opposite attracts, hence there is no better colour combination than black and white! Black and white monochrome look is the simplest yet most chic of looks. This pair of Black Stylenanda Inspired Bar Buckle Sandals from Te Chi Chi doubles the impact of monochrome and turns you into a fashionista instantly. Top off the look with the stylish black wide brim floppy hat. I totally love this minimalist outfit! How about you?

2. Be your own rock star - Street Punk

Sometimes we probably get tired of having to look all feminine and classy - we want an escape. Try this punk look with your ripped high-waisted jeans and a crop top with words that tell the world who you are and how you are not going to care of what others think of you - that's really the heart of being punk. Studded wristbands and bracelets give the edgy look, and lastly, the black sandals to complete the whole punk and hipster look.

So where to get these pretty & versatile shoes?

Te Chi Chi is a brand that brings you access to the hottest and latest trends from the land of Gangnam Style and Wonder Girls! A wide variety of Korean styled shoes and their shoes are imported directly from Korea! Hands up K-pop fans? :D Now you can create your cutest and most adorable look and be sure that you are one step closer to becoming like your stylish and trendy idols with this brand. Te Chi Chi also has just launched their own fashion brand called TOT-TOT which you can get them from their Queensbay Mall outlet!

Gentle reminder: Most of the cuttings of the shoes are small, so you might want to get one size larger. Best if you can purchase it from their shop itself to get the size that actually fits you. :)

There are six Te Chi Chi branch outlets nationwide which includes :

Queensbay Mall

Raja Uda, Butterworth

Bukit Mertajam

Taiping Sentral Mall

Gurney Plaza in Penang (New outlet - Coming in October)

Queensbay Mall Clothes Outlet

So once again, thank you for taking your time to read my blog. It has been a while since my last post but I love all of you who still visit my blog and tell me you miss me despite my lacking of updates. I really put in a lot of effort in each and every single post, including this one, because I truly believe that I have to go wholeheartedly into every post I do in order to touch my readers' hearts and to really understand and give what my readers expect from my words. I may not be the best blogger - I don't have thousands of followers, I don't have a long list of sponsors to back me up, I may not be able to express myself well enough, and I don't own a good camera for higher quality photos. But I wish that I am able to create an emotional connection with you, just by words. That's my ultimate goal of being a blogger. Okay this is getting more and more irrelevant, I better stop here haha. Till next time! :)

Love,

Eunice.

[BEAUTY REVIEW] NATTA COSME Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish

Popular in Asia especially Taiwan and Japan, black sugar claimed to be a healthier and tastier option than white processed sugar. But do you know that black sugar is good for our skin?

Source: google image

I have a new beauty discovery to share with my readers - a delicious way to pamper your skin - the Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish! Once again, thank you Natta Cosme for sponsoring me the product. You can read my previous Natta Cosme's post here. :)

Imported from Korea,

the Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish is packaged in a small black jar containing 60g of product.

Some notable ingredients include black sugar, shea butter and cranberry seed oil.

First of all, I love that this product is called a facial polish, and not a facial scrub. Doesn't it just sound more luxurious and less harsh? ;) It is alcohol and paraben free, contains no artificial coloring, and the brand doesn't test on animals. And also what makes me - and I bet everyone - curious about this product is that, why black sugar? Black sugar actually has been proven to aid in the removal of dead skin cells and blackheads. It exfoliates dry skin with ease and adds a glossy smooth look to the skin. I have really dry skin which makes my skin becomes uneven with dry patches. These dry patches causes makeup to apply unevenly and looks ''caked''. Hence I have a feeling that the Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish is exactly what I need! Always remember skin that is regularly exfoliated is healthier skin, both in appearance and function!

It comes with a plastic protective lid.

The moment I opened the lid, I could smell a sugary scent, just like black sugar!

Gentle reminder:

It doesn't come with a spatula, so make sure your hands are clean before using it!

Trying on my hands first!

I can see some black sugar granules, but surprisingly they are not that harsh as they seem.

Overall, the texture is quite smooth! Love it!

Directions of use

1. After cleansing your face, mix a tiny amount with 2-3 drops of water, and lightly massage it onto your face.

2. Use circular motions, clockwise for a few counts, then anti-clockwise. This will achieve the most complete exfoliation.
3. Rinse thoroughly with warm water, pat dry, apply toner and moisturizer.
4. Use it once or twice a week.

It felt really lovely on the skin and after I rinsed it off, my skin was smooth and hydrated. I have to resist the urge to touch my face constantly hahaha. It didn't leave my skin red like a lot of other exfoliators. I think the correct way to use exfoliators properly is to lightly massage them into your skin, not scrubing them in. Gentle is the key word! However, the difference was not really visible through naked eyes. But then, Rome wasn't built in a day so I guess I will have to use it for some time before the result becomes obvious. :)
